Took my u-joint apart. There were no needle bearings in right side cup. Shaft was a bit rusty too. The left side has heavy gouges but the bearings were there. Cause of my vibration I reckon. I replaced driveshaft. This one is scrap.

Took out driveshaft and my vibration went away. Center bearing is fine. Seems tight. Found a used drive shaft at junkyard for $25. Might as well try it. Has return policy so it’s only my time. Seems to drive ok now. Always had a center console vibration. But no shake/shimmy on road. Few months...

I was going to replace my pass seat cushion and took out seat. unplugged module harness under seat. Then changed my mind and put everything back. Now I have airbag light. I am sure all is plugged in. Now what?

The equinox I just got has blizzak tires. I need non winter tires. Found a set of (3) vue wheels with nice Michelin tires. 235/55/17 which is a bit undersize. But, $100 for 3 wheels/tires is ok. edit. Found a set of 4 equinox wheels/tires for $80. But 44 mile drive. A/s tires. Same wheels as my...

I noticed my dash indicator says “I” when I shift to “D”. I know it’s for intermediate per owners manual. Seems to drive fine. I don’t notice any engine braking per manual. I shift from neutral to drive and dash skips over the D and shows as I.

My 06 I just got has newer struts. I can see old stickers on shock top. It has a good click/clunk on bumps. I changed struts on previous equinox to fix same issue. But, I didn’t change he strut mounts. Dumb move. So I got to take struts apart twice.

Cyl with reddish exh valve certainly looks suspect? 06 equinox 120k miles. Seller had it for couple months and person they got it from said they had gaskets done in the past. Didn’t say how long ago. It has metal intake gaskets so I assume intake has bee

Why can’t gm make a good 3.6 motor? Seller only has 103k miles and motor is dead. New 18” tires. 100 miles. Wants $800 i work on 3.4 motors only.

I know equinox has 5x115 bolt pattern which is same as charger 5x115. Anyone here try to use dodge wheels? The dodge studs are 14mm. Nox are 12mm. Dodge center hole is 71.5mm and nox is 70.3? So, dodge wheels will “fit”. I assume the tapered seat lugnuts will center the wheels and they will be...

Kid has rattle in column. I replaced knuckle assy. I’m pretty sure it is from motor assy. Found a nox in yard with no dash and exposed steering column. Took 5 min to remove motor assy. So, I am going to swap it out on nox. I have never seen this mentioned at site. But, I see this part removed on...

Got a 2008 yesterday. 170k. Almost new tires. Probably head gaskets. Battery was 4volts. Got it started. Runs fine. Yes coolant fluctuates from 200-220f. Surge tank did rise when hot. Fans are running. Hoses are hot.

My tach died so I put in a cluster from a torrent. I know they have same tire size as equinox. Mine are 235/65/16. And torrrent usually is 235/60/17. So, <1% diff. I drove 200 mile trip and got 25mpg. For last year. Always 25 on hwy. I put equinox cluster back in last week and drove same trip...

I replaced egr tube. My office is over garage at my house. When my wife starts suv i could hear a low freq rumble from exhaust. With new tube sound is gone. Seems odd for small leak from tube. Maybe it odd acoustics from me being in room above garage? My garage is sheetrocked of course. For fire...

Odd thing. Steering made a groaning sound when turning wheel. I thought maybe strut mounts? Rack and pinion? I unhooked tierods end, yep that’s odd. No change. I could then twist strut assy independent of rack and I could hear the sound while turning strut. Turns out it was the sway bar link rod...

I reset my oil life monitor using dash buttons to 100%. do you still have to turn on ign and pump gas pedal 3 times? my dash says 100%. when I shut off rig, the orange wrench/oil can illuminates for 1-2 sec. this is normal? When dash says 100%? manual says pump gas 3 times. OR use dash reset...

my 2011 came with no powe r steering. Message says service power steering. Seller had top of motor rebuilt and I don’t know if mechanics messed around with wiring in process. Junkyard sells assist motors for $30. I get a lot of junkyard parts so the process does not really concern me. What is...
